I agree. I wish the ACLU would re-run the results at 99%. But Amazon's example post about law enforcement has it set to 85%.

I don't think this 99% thing is communicated properly at Amazon if it's getting through blog posts like this.

So I think a valid criticism is that we need to make sure that it's higher.

Do we know police actually use 99% ?

Nope and I doubt they do. But a test of 99% would better for Amazon/ACLU to take on.

I do not understand, a fair test is to replicate reality. Also I am wondering if you have for each city a different software package with it's own config or IT guy that tweaks the config
